FIX UR BUSTED UP BLUE-RAY DRIVE

Fix Your Busted-up Blu-ray Drive

If you’re like me you’ve put serious cycles through your PS3, perhaps damaging some internals, like the Blu-ray drive for instance. My old fat, 256MB NAND PS3 suffered this loss. Anyway, good news: It is now possible to “(re)marry” Blu-ray drive boards to other consoles, meaning there is still hope for your thought-to-be dead drive.


It’s a miracle! This remarrying technique stems from the Mega hiper ultra fantastico Team … for real, that’s their name. And these instructions courtesy of Mark Webber:
1.Put these onto a blank usb stick (not the devusb folder, just it’s contents) & add a 2.30 PUP FILE!
2.Put in the service mode dongle and get into factory service mode.Put the newly created USB stick into port 0 (closest to the reader) and run.
3.After you run the initial remarry process, do not take it out of factory service mode.
4.Put a BD disc in and run it on the PS3. (This restores your DRL files!)

Then you can take it out of factory service mode.
Launch as normal.

I have not done extensive testing yet, but have just remarried a BD board from a 60gig launch to a 40gig console.
